Should not be rated PG!

Too dark for us! Black magic (the little boy cuts himself!), demons, zombies, etc. We had to turn it off. Wish it was rated PG-13, I would have looked it up first.

Not worth it.

By Al Tilley The Bum

The trailer shows this film to be something of a fun family film. It’s actually the complete opposite. Lots of demonic activity and foul language make it not suitable for a PG audience. It overall was a massive disappointment. Even with Jack Black in it, it was still horrible. It would easily give a kid nightmares. It should’ve been rated PG-13. Glad I didn’t see it in theaters!

never ever ever
